How much weight did you still have to lose to get back to your pre-pregnancy weight at your 6 week check up? And if you don't mind sharing, how much did you gain during your pregnancy? Just curious what I can realistically expect to lose over the next few weeks. With summer just about here I am ready to get rid of all this excess flab!

Gained 40 lbs and I'm down 20 at 6 weeks
-
Almost exactly the same as @luckypenny: ... gained 18kg, have lost 10kg at 10 w pp(had lost about 9.5kg at 6 weeks....things have slowed down!)
-
Gained: 40lbs
Baby's weight: 7lb8oz
By 6 week: was down 18lb with 12 to go
By 12 weeks: 8lb to go
By 16weeks: all gone but working on toning
I was able to nurse for 14 weeks. -
Gained 55 lbs and was down 35 lbs at 6 weeks. But I also had a ton of swelling the last few weeks.
-
With my 1st I gained 29lbs and had lost 24lbs at 6 weeks PP.
Gained a lot more with my 2nd, but my doctor didn't weigh me at my 6 week pp visit (and I don't own a scale). I'm guessing I was still about 10-12lbs above prepreg weight.
-
gained 28lb and was about 7lb away from pre pregnancy weight at 6 weeks.
-
Gained 30 and at six weeks PP I had 5 or 6 left to lose. I'm now 8 weeks PP and still have the same to lose. Things seemed to level out around 5-6 weeks. Also, while I'm close to my pre-preg weight, things are distributed WAY different on my body now and my hips are definitely spread out more which makes fitting into some old clothes difficult.
-
Gained 21 lbs, all gone by 4 weeks pp. Still lots of toning to do then!
-
I Gained 30lbs and had lost about 34lbs at my 6wks pp appt, but I still feel soft/flabby tho
-
I gained 70 (good god) and was down 30 by my 6 week appointment. I'm still only down 30 by 13 weeks PP.
-
I gained 45 and was down 20-25 or so by my 6 week appointment. I was down 30 lbs by 6 months pp. And I still haev 10 to go and LO is 10.5 months! But I have done nothing to lose it.
-
I gained 18 lbs and it was all gone by 6 weeks. But my body was definitely not the same. My hips were still a bit wider and I had tons of toning to do.
-
Oops! I meant 30 lbs

-
Gained 60 lb
, was down 25/30 by 6 weeks pp. by 6-7 months pp had 5 lbs to go, which seems to be holding on, probably until I'm done nursing.
-
Gained 16lbs. All gone and an additional 10 lbs at my 6 week appointment (probably because baby was a terrible eater/sleeper, and I was completely alone weeks 2-4 while DH was away for work, so I continually chose getting a 30 min nap over making myself food).
-
Gained 50 pounds. Down 30 at 4 week appointment. No more weight loss until 7.5 months when I started limiting calories.
-
Gained 25- by 6 week appt had lost it all. (then gained it back- then lost it again- and now I am pregnant again and probably going to gain it back!)
-
Gained 29. Was at -2 at my 6-week appointment. But my body was *not* the same. It's better now - 16 months pp and at -10 - but still not the same. Saggier and fleshier in some places, thinner and less muscular in others...
-
I gained 26, and had lost 21 by my 6 week appointment. I'm at 10 weeks now with only one pound left to lose.
-

I had gained about 35 and had lost about 25 by 6 weeks. My baby was a little under 7 pounds.

Gained approx 45 & at 6 weeks all but 5 were gone. The remaining 5 were gone by approx 8 weeks. Try not to fret too much!

Gained 32, baby was 7lbs 11oz. Lost 24lbs by 6wks. No idea when the last 8 went away!
-
Gained 55 pounds, down 25 at my 6 week appt. Granted, 20 of that was almost immediately, and the rest is hanging on. I still have 30 to go, and I would really like to lose another 7-10 on top of that.
@MrsH: it will happen!
